Default radio transmitter sucks?


hey,
i bought the radio transmitter a few days ago and ive been playing around with it...

i am not really impressed by it.. when i auto seek a channel - it tends to seek a channel that is being currently, when its supposed to be doing the opposite?!

also, device itself tends to be lose, ie, it doesnt fit tightly with the zune itself?

the quality of the transimision is crappy too.

has anyone tried it?

^^^My mom uses this for her iPod (well, my old one) and she can use it so I'm sure anyone can.

ive bought the transmitter lastnight and its a ing joke , i move it not even 3 inch's from the radio and i lose about 20%-75% quality no matter what freq , some one needs to come up with a mod that makes the transmitter push more power out or somthing , so far its a waste of 70 bucks ...

Really? thats strange because the radio is not where it transmits too. Perhaps you should stop making things up. It transmits to the antenna, you know that big metal thing? Unless its a newer vehicle where its imbedded in the top of the window.

STOP SPREADING BULLSH*T!

Dont get a battery operated fm transmitter, get one that runs off the dc current from the car. it will be more reliable.

The best option is to get a direct line into the radio, via a headphone jack, or with a fm modulator. That will give you a better sound.

so wait , u just said the transmitter doesnt transmit a signal to the radio , but it transmits to the antenna . . . . .

anyway did u know that the antenna is connected to the back of a radio right ? ? ,

and also FYI , the antenna isnt the only part that picks up a signal , the wire thats connected to it and runs to the back of the radio also pulls in a signal , the outside antenna just makes it ez'er for OUTSIDE signals to be pulled in by the radio

and also . why the should i haveto hold my zune @ 1-3 inch's from the antenna to get 95+% quality the product is total crap .


edit : and also ur defending the product , by saying not to spread bull**** , and then u say to get a differnt item I.E dc powered unit or headunit jack , ..

i donno bro u keep contradicting ur self
